Bioelectromagnetics

BioEM2013

BioEM2013 is the Joint Meeting of The Bioelectromagnetics Society (BEMS) and the European BioElectromagnetics Association (EBEA). It will be held at the Conference Center of Thessaloniki Concert Hall, Greece from June 10-14, 2013. As the premier international conference in the area of bioelectromagnetics, BioEM2013 is expected to stimulate further research in this field through the exchange of ideas and lively debate on state-of-the-art knowledge,  as well as gaps to be filled.

With the pervasive presence of electromagnetic fields (EMF) in our everyday lives, the meeting aims at presenting and advancing high quality research in basic and applied aspects of bioelectromagnetics to address the health concerns, regulations and medical applications associated with EMF. The program of the meeting will provide a comprehensive overview of the field of bioelectromagnetics - from fundamental research topics on the interactions between living tissue and EM energy to medical applications. BioEM2013 will feature invited plenary talks by world-renowned scientists, a variety of special sessions and panel discussions aligned with the most pressing issues in the field of bioelectromagnetics as well as informative technical sessions, poster sessions, and social functions. Student competitions will also be a highlight of the conference. Students from around the world will have the opportunity to present their work in an oral or poster session while developing their technical communication skills and networking with the bioelectromagnetics community.

To complement the stimulating and interesting program, the city of Thessaloniki is ready to welcome the participants and their families. Situated at the heart of the Balkans Thessaloniki is itself an attraction to thousands  of tourists from around the world every year. Moreover,  it offers the ideal departure point for excursions to Olympus (Mount of the Gods), to Athos (the Byzantine city of Orthodox monasteries), to Vergina (hosting the gold and tombs of the Macedonian kings, including that of Alexander the Great's father), or simply to the peninsula of Chalkidiki, where one can enjoy the unforgettable scenery and the clear sea waters.
